The Poultry Yard in Autumn.

Mistake is made sometimes by
poultry fanciers, and those in the
business as well, in placing too
many eggs under a hen for her
brooding. No larger number than
nine can be set with perfect safety,
in the autumn; and therefore, if it
be desirable to bring out many
chickens, the act of the managing
two or more sitting hens at once
should be acquired. In such case
the fancier or breeders can put
two broods together, and being
careful about the night shelter,
there need be no difficulty in
accommodating SO many broods as
shall number twenty to fifty. chick.

the season be reasonably mild and

Late chicks should be cared fol
by their mother until few weeks
old, when they can be placed to.

made brooder at one end, for the
little things to run under at night
Give the box place in the kitchen
for the chickcan't get under your
feet, nor can rats or cats disturb
them; set box and contents out in
the sun when it shines warmly
change soil frequently, feed and
wacth brood carefully. In this way
it will be not difficult to raise all
successfully.
Do not keep to many old hens
Select reliable sitters and mothers
as mahy as are needed for that
purpose. Dispose of the rest, and
keep early Matched spring pullets
to lay in fall and winter.
For keeping brooding hens
cleanly, invest in a good bunch Of
Tobacco leaves; put few leaves
unde the sitting hens, and scatter
them around the fowl house; tie
some punches on the sides also,
and there will be no trouble from
vermin.-American Agriculturist

FARM DAIRY AND HOUSEHOLD.
Introduction of the Brahma Fowls.

in the year 1S47, Hartford
man, a Mr.. chamberlain, saw, on
the dock in New York, on board
of an East Indiman just in from a
long voyage, and in possession of
a sailor, some fowls. They were
clearly of the Asiatic family, hut
different from the Shanghaes,
Chittagongs, Cochin Chinas, with
which he was familiar. So he
bought them, and took them home.
His business, however, interfered
with his bringing them before the
public, SO he parted with them to
Mr.. Virgil Cornish, then of Hart
ford, subsequently of New Britain
who propagated them successfully
until he had fine stock. They
were not brought out until 1852,
at great poultry show in Boston,
where they received the name
Brahma Pootra, becaue they had
come from a port near the mouth
of river of that rame. They
were highly appreciated at once,
on account of their great beauty,
fine form and large size. They help.

"hen fever" which has been pre-.
valent, and was beginning to flag

irregular triple comb, which hae
been called a pea comb" fol
what reason it is rather hard tt

100000 healthy geese must give
mp their feathers in a year. The

Pulled Eggs-Beat until very
light one dezen eggs, season and
drop a spoonful at time in hot
lard; serve at once.
Potato Rolls---Add to twelve
mashed potatoes, salt, butter and a
cup of milk and two eggs; make
into rolls, cover with flour and fry
brown in butter
Beet Salad---One pint each of
raw cabbage and boiled beets; chop
fine and add one quarter of a tea
cup of grated horse radish and one
teaspoon of salt; cover with cold
vinegar.
Beef Loaf---Two pounds of raw,
lean beef, one cup of rolled crack

day and Tuesday are, of course,
sacred to washing and ironing.
Wednesday is given to the finish
ing of the latter, and the clearing

Thursday the silver must be pol
ished, windows wiped off, etc.
Friday, by general consent, is
sweeping day, and Saturday is de,
voted to baking, cake-making, and
preparations for the Sabbath
Where all this is thoroughly un-
derstood, the household machinery
will move with comparative little
friction.

Preserving Eggs---The very best
method for the housekeeper to pre-
serve a small number of dozens of
eggs for home use or for market, is
to simply pack them on end in
salt. Salt enough must be used SO
that eggs will not touch each other
or the bottom or sides of the pack
age. The grade of salt used is that
known as coarse fine" Common
table salt is, of course, just as good
but it costs a little more. 1t is not
necessary to grease, varnish or do
anything to the egg Except wash
them if they need it, } before pack
ing them in the salt; and the pack
age should not be turned. Leaving
the cost of the salt out of the ques-
ton, this method is just as good
for packing any number of dozens
for maket Prairie Farmer.

Making sugar from sorghum
cane is now claimed to be as SIM
pie and sure as making flour from
wheat. It is only necessary to
build mills in farming regions
where sorghum cane grows well
and ripens early enough to escape
September frosts. Nothing seems
now necessary except to duplicate
the sort of machinery and employ
the process used at Ft. Scotland
to grow the cane to supply the
mills. The demand for good home
grown sugar can be imagined when
it is stated that the crude saccha-
rine imported from Cuba and else
where costs this country consider
able over SS0,000,000 a year, and
on which the people pay tariff
tax of s52,000,000. 1t takes near
ly all the wheat this country ex-
ports to pay for the sugar and mo-
lasses imported. This country
will never be fairly Independent of
other countries in supplying It's
wants until it produces its
own sweetening and has some
"taffy" to spare for others. -Wich-
